Network layer r transport segment from r r sending to receiving host on sending side encapsulates segments into datagrams on rcving side, delivers segments to transport layer network layer protocols in every host, router examines header fields in all IP datagrams passing through it application transport network data link physical network data link physical network data link physical Network Layer application transport network data link physical 4

Two Key Network-Layer Functions r forwarding: move packets from router’s input to appropriate router output r routing: determine route taken by packets from source to dest. m routing analogy: r routing: process of planning trip from source to dest r forwarding: process of getting through single interchange algorithms Network Layer 5

Network service model Q: What service model for “channel” transporting datagrams from sender to receiver? Example services for individual datagrams: r guaranteed delivery with less than 40 msec delay Example services for a flow of datagrams: r in-order datagram delivery r guaranteed minimum bandwidth to flow r restrictions on changes in inter-packet spacing Network Layer 8

Network layer connection and connection-less service r datagram network provides network-layer connectionless service r VC network provides network-layer connection service r analogous to the transport-layer services, but: m service: host-to-host m no choice: network provides one or the other m implementation: in network core Network Layer 11

Virtual circuits “source-to-dest path behaves much like telephone circuit” m m performance-wise network actions along source-to-dest path r call setup, teardown for each call before data can flow r each packet carries VC identifier (not destination host address) r every router on source-dest path maintains “state” for each passing connection r link, router resources (bandwidth, buffers) may be allocated to VC (dedicated resources = predictable service) Network Layer 12

VC implementation a VC consists of: 1. 2. 3. path from source to destination VC numbers, one number for each link along path entries in forwarding tables in routers along path r packet belonging to VC carries VC number (rather than dest address) r VC number can be changed on each link. m New VC number comes from forwarding table Network Layer 13

Forwarding table VC number 22 12 1 Forwarding table in northwest router: Incoming interface 1 2 3 1 … 2 32 3 interface number Incoming VC # 12 63 7 97 … Outgoing interface 3 1 2 3 … Outgoing VC # 22 18 17 87 … Routers maintain connection state information! Network Layer 14

Virtual circuits: signaling protocols r used to setup, maintain teardown VC r used in ATM, frame-relay, X. 25 r not used in today’s Internet application transport 5. Data flow begins network 4. Call connected data link 1. Initiate call physical 6. Receive data application 3. Accept call transport 2. incoming call network data link physical Network Layer 15

Datagram networks r no call setup at network layer r routers: no state about end-to-end connections m no network-level concept of “connection” r packets forwarded using destination host address m packets between same source-dest pair may take different paths application transport network data link 1.

Datagram or VC network: why? Internet (datagram) r data exchange among ATM (VC) r evolved from telephony computers r human conversation: m “elastic” service, no strict m strict timing, reliability timing requirements r “smart” end systems m need for guaranteed (computers) service m can adapt, perform r “dumb” end systems control, error recovery m telephones m simple inside network, m complexity inside complexity at “edge” network r many link types m different characteristics m uniform service difficult Network Layer 19

Router Architecture Overview Two key router functions: r run routing algorithms/protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP) r forwarding datagrams from incoming to outgoing link Network Layer 21

Input Port Functions Physical layer: bit-level reception Data link layer: e. g. , Ethernet see chapter 5 Decentralized switching: r given datagram dest. , lookup output port using forwarding table in input port memory r goal: complete input port processing at ‘line speed’ r queuing: if datagrams arrive faster than forwarding rate into switch fabric Network Layer 22

Three types of switching fabrics Network Layer 23

Switching Via Memory First generation routers: r traditional computers with switching under direct control of CPU rpacket copied to system’s memory r speed limited by memory bandwidth (2 bus crossings per datagram) Input Port Memory Output Port System Bus Network Layer 24

Switching Via a Bus r datagram from input port memory to output port memory via a shared bus r bus contention: switching speed limited by bus bandwidth r 32 Gbps bus, Cisco 5600: sufficient speed for access and enterprise routers Network Layer 25

Switching Via An Interconnection Network r overcome bus bandwidth limitations r Banyan networks, other interconnection nets initially developed to connect processors in multiprocessor r advanced design: fragmenting datagram into fixed length cells, switch cells through the fabric. r Cisco 12000: switches 60 Gbps through the interconnection network Network Layer 26

Output Ports r Buffering required when datagrams arrive from fabric faster than the transmission rate r Scheduling discipline chooses among queued datagrams for transmission Network Layer 27

Output port queueing r buffering when arrival rate via switch exceeds output line speed r queueing (delay) and loss due to output port buffer overflow! Network Layer 28

How much buffering? r RFC 3439 rule of thumb: average buffering equal to “typical” RTT (say 250 msec) times link capacity C m e. g. , C = 10 Gps link: 2. 5 Gbit buffer r Recent recommendation: with N flows, buffering equal to RTT. C N Network Layer 29

Input Port Queuing r Fabric slower than input ports combined -> queueing may occur at input queues r Head-of-the-Line (HOL) blocking: queued datagram at front of queue prevents others in queue from moving forward r queueing delay and loss due to input buffer overflow! Network Layer 30

IP datagram format IP protocol version number header length (bytes) “type” of data max number remaining hops (decremented at each router) upper layer protocol to deliver payload to how much overhead with TCP? r 20 bytes of TCP r 20 bytes of IP r = 40 bytes + app layer overhead 32 bits ver head. type of len service length fragment 16 -bit identifier flgs offset upper time to header layer live checksum total datagram length (bytes) for fragmentation/ reassembly 32 bit source IP address 32 bit destination IP address Options (if any) data (variable length, typically a TCP or UDP segment) E. g. timestamp, record route taken, specify list of routers to visit. Network Layer 34

IP Fragmentation & Reassembly r network links have MTU (max. transfer size) - largest possible link-level frame. m different link types, different MTUs r large IP datagram divided (“fragmented”) within net m one datagram becomes several datagrams m “reassembled” only at final destination m IP header bits used to identify, order related fragments fragmentation: in: one large datagram out: 3 smaller datagrams reassembly Network Layer 35

IP Fragmentation and Reassembly Example r 4000 byte datagram r MTU = 1500 bytes 1480 bytes in data field offset = 1480/8 length ID fragflag offset =4000 =x =0 =0 One large datagram becomes several smaller datagrams length ID fragflag offset =1500 =x =1 =0 length ID fragflag offset =1500 =x =1 =185 length ID fragflag offset =1040 =x =0 =370 Network Layer 36

IP Addressing: introduction r IP address: 32 -bit identifier for host, router interface: connection between host/router and physical link m m m router’s typically have multiple interfaces host typically has one interface IP addresses associated with each interface 223. 1. 1. 1 223. 1. 1. 2 223. 1. 1. 4 223. 1. 1. 3 223. 1. 2. 1 223. 1. 2. 9 223. 1. 3. 27 223. 1. 2. 2 223. 1. 1. 1 = 11011111 00000001 223 1 1 Network Layer 1 38

Subnets r IP address: m subnet part (high order bits) m host part (low order bits) r What’s a subnet ? m device interfaces with same subnet part of IP address m can physically reach other without intervening router 223. 1. 1. 1 223. 1. 1. 2 223. 1. 1. 4 223. 1. 1. 3 223. 1. 2. 1 223. 1. 2. 9 223. 1. 3. 27 223. 1. 2. 2 subnet 223. 1. 3. 2 network consisting of 3 subnets Network Layer 39

Subnets Recipe r To determine the subnets, detach each interface from its host or router, creating islands of isolated networks. Each isolated network is called a subnet. 223. 1. 1. 0/24 223. 1. 2. 0/24 223. 1. 3. 0/24 Subnet mask: /24 Network Layer 40

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Goal: allow host to dynamically obtain its IP address from network server when it joins network Can renew its lease on address in use Allows reuse of addresses (only hold address while connected an “on”) Support for mobile users who want to join network (more shortly) DHCP overview: m host broadcasts “DHCP discover” msg m DHCP server responds with “DHCP offer” msg m host requests IP address: “DHCP request” msg m DHCP server sends address: “DHCP ack” msg Network Layer 44

IP addressing: the last word. . . Q: How does an ISP get block of addresses? A: ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers m allocates addresses m manages DNS m assigns domain names, resolves disputes Network Layer 50

NAT: Network Address Translation rest of Internet local network (e. g. , home network) 10. 0. 0/24 10. 0. 0. 1 10. 0. 0. 2 138. 76. 29. 7 10. 0. 0. 3 All datagrams leaving local network have same single source NAT IP address: 138. 76. 29. 7, different source port numbers Datagrams with source or destination in this network have 10. 0. 0/24 address for source, destination (as usual) Network Layer 51

NAT: Network Address Translation r Motivation: local network uses just one IP address as far as outside world is concerned: m range of addresses not needed from ISP: just one IP address for all devices m can change addresses of devices in local network without notifying outside world m can change ISP without changing addresses of devices in local network m devices inside local net not explicitly addressable, visible by outside world (a security plus). Network Layer 52

NAT: Network Address Translation Implementation: NAT router must: m outgoing datagrams: replace (source IP address, port #) of every outgoing datagram to (NAT IP address, new port #). . . remote clients/servers will respond using (NAT IP address, new port #) as destination addr. m remember (in NAT translation table) every (source IP address, port #) to (NAT IP address, new port #) translation pair m incoming datagrams: replace (NAT IP address, new port #) in dest fields of every incoming datagram with corresponding (source IP address, port #) stored in NAT table Network Layer 53

NAT: Network Address Translation r 16 -bit port-number field: m 60, 000 simultaneous connections with a single LAN-side address! r NAT is controversial: m routers should only process up to layer 3 m violates end-to-end argument • NAT possibility must be taken into account by app designers, eg, P 2 P applications m address IPv 6 shortage should instead be solved by Network Layer 55
